Also the EMG readings for the rectus femoris and biceps femoris indicate an enhanced co-contraction of the two muscles, and therefore the negative heeled shoes may be helpful in exercising these muscle groups.
22.
With superficial fibular nerve stimulation, the ipsilateral biceps femoris ( knee flexor ) and ipsilateral soleus ( plantar flexor ) reflexes are amplified during swing to allow the leg to clear the obstacle.
23.
The prominence, at its upper and lateral part, gives attachment to the tendon of the biceps femoris and to the fibular collateral ligament of the knee-joint, the ligament dividing the tendon into two parts.
24.
The posterior thigh muscles have their origins on the semimembranosus are inserted on the tibia on the medial side of the knee, while biceps femoris is inserted on the fibula, on the knee's lateral side.
25.
The tendons of the above muscles can be felt as prominent cords on both sides of the fossa the biceps femoris tendon on the lateral side and the semimembranosus and semitendinosus tendons on the medial side.
26.
On 13 September, in a Novara, Pato picked up a muscle strain in his thigh, which tests revealed an injury of his biceps femoris of his left thigh, resulting in him missing the remainder of the season.
27.
The long head of the biceps femoris extends the hip, as when beginning to walk; both short and long heads flex the knee and laterally ( outwardly ) rotate the lower leg when the knee is bent.
28.
Its most powerful action is to cause the body to regain the erect position after stooping, by drawing the pelvis backward, being assisted in this action by the biceps femoris ( long head ), semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and adductor magnus.
29.
It arises from the lower and medial impression on the upper part of the biceps femoris; it also arises from an aponeurosis which connects the adjacent surfaces of the two muscles to the extent of about 7.5 cm . from their origin.
30.
It lies between the tendon of the biceps femoris and lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle, winds around the neck of the fibula, between the peroneus longus and the bone, and divides beneath the muscle into the superficial peroneal nerve and deep peroneal nerve.
